Reign Over Me

I am normally your regular guy when it comes to movies. If it involves superheroes, explosions, senseless violence, or basically any kind of comedy, I love it. But a few months ago I saw the movie Reign Over Me. It has Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. Don Cheadle plays an average man, going from day to day working the same job. Adam Sandler plays his college roommate, who lost his wife and two daughters during the 9/11 attacks. When I first heard about this movie I thought that it was a boring dramatic movie, using the event's that happened on september 11th to make some quick money. The first thing that struck me when I saw the movie was that they never really mentioned 9/11. It was made obvious that those were the events where Sandler's character lost his family, but its not brought up directly. When I saw this movie I was completely amazed by Adam Sandler's acting. As a guy who loves comedy more then anything else, I'm really familiar with his acting, and normally, his characters aren't that smart. But Sandler does a perfect job. The movie is all about Cheadles' and Sandler's development after seeing each other again. It's hard for me to explain why I enjoyed this movie so much. For me it was that it was very gripping and wasn't just a sap story like every boring drama I have seen before. It really did an amazing job of pulling you into the characters. That is why one of my favorite movies is 'Reign Over Me'.
